Fujitsu uses two 'windows' one is a console and is used for ANSI style
ACCEPT/DISPLAY the other is the CRT used for X/Open style
ACCEPT/DISPLAY UPON CRT or ACCEPT/DISPLAY AT ... The latter is only
created if an X/Open style statement is executed.

Neither of these are the command prompt window where you typed the
command.

Instead of starting a command prompt window and then starting your
program by typing a command which then opens a console window, why not
put the command of a strtcut (icon on desktop) and start the console
only.
